The LavaCore Long Sleeve Shirt can be used as a rash guard and as thermal underwear for SCUBA diving in colder waters.
Windproof and Anti Microbial fleece layer for odour control and comfort against the skin keeps you warm and clean after extended use.
Trilaminate Fabric provides different properties for each layer; an Ultraflex Durable Outer Shell including 4 way stretch and a quick drying material which easily sheds water, a Breathable Microporous Mid-Layer which is windproof but allows perspiration to be drawn away from the body and a Insulating Thermal Inner-Layer with Anti-Pill and Anti-Microbial treatment to reduce odor and eliminate bacteria.
Flatlock Seams are overlapped diagonally that reduces waterflow and increases integrity keeping you warmer in cooler water.
Neutrally Buoyant fabric doesn't require you to add or subtract any weights

I am no small person and ordered the Extra Large. The top arrived labelled Extra Large but to be hones it is VERY tight getting the top on. However, it may well be that this is how it is supposed to work as the last two dives have been in water tempe

I am in the lower end of the size range for large and this is a tight comfortable fit but does not restrict movement. Replacement for older Lavacore LS and works fantastic under 5mm wetsuit as a thermal layer
